The Reverend Charger HH redefines the iconic build with a slightly thinner body profile, a set of revamped humbucking pickups, and an aluminum ferrule block for enhanced sustain. Retaining the original's top-notch tonewoods and custom electronics, the Charger HH has us here at Sweetwater firmly believing in its capability to provide a custom-shop-like experience for studio pros, bedroom producers, and gigging artists alike. A lightweight korina body delivers full-bodied resonance with noticeable mahogany-like warmth; korina perfectly pairs with a rosewood fingerboard and a roasted maple neck, roasted for stability and outstanding vintage looks. Sonically, two Reverend Steelhead Humbuckers combine Alnico V and ceramic magnets for a powerful, articulate tone, complete with oversized pole pieces for consistent output. Moreover, numerous high-end appointments deliver versatile tone-tweaking options matched with reliable, gig-worthy hardware. Locking tuners, an innovative Bass Contour, a treble bleed circuit, premium pots and caps, and a Pure Tone jack merge to form a mechanically and electronically sound guitar that’s beyond reliable.
Reverend’s consistency in quality and incredible tone is a hallmark of the brand, and it all starts with the woods. The company focuses on a no-compromise standard — its meticulously chosen woods combine long-lasting durability with room-filling resonance. Korina bodies are well known for their presence in boutique and custom-shop instruments, exuding velvety warmth while balancing lows, mids, and highs exceptionally well. The Charger HH’s roasted maple neck feels sturdy in the hands, holding up to humidity changes while out on the road and delivering that beloved “snap.” The rich rosewood fingerboard feels just as exceptional as it looks, highly lauded for its smooth-as-glass texture and effortless playability in all positions.
Reverend’s Steelhead Humbuckers deliver the sought-after richness of classic dual-coil pickups with a healthy dose of modern clarity, output, and response. The passive dual-magnet design pairs the smooth mids and shimmering highs of an Alnico V with the added punch, firmness, and immediacy of an opposing ceramic magnet. Joined by a wide magnetic field and oversized pole pieces, the Steelhead Humbuckers deliver enhanced headroom, dynamic attack, and unfaltering output consistency from string to string. From articulate rhythm work to responsive leads, Steelhead Humbuckers deliver a sound that feels alive beneath your fingers, offering a versatile working palette that honors the warmth and authority of traditional humbuckers while confidently stepping into modern territory.
One strum is all it takes to experience the exquisite quality of Reverend’s guitars. The Charger HH comes stock with several enhancements typically reserved for instruments more than double the cost. The result? A 6-string with an elite, pro-quality feel. The Bass Contour knob is a handy tool for tone shaping. It’s capable of tightening up flub and even changing the characteristics of your pickups — humbuckers can quickly morph into single-coils with this awesome mod! Like all of Reverend’s other offerings, the Charger HH comes equipped with an upgraded jack courtesy of Pure Tone Technologies. Rather than employ the standard single contact, Pure Tone jacks use a pair of contacts for a tighter connection and a more consistent signal. Let’s not forget the treble bleed circuit for retaining your high end when rolling back the volume, which is made even better with 10% poly caps and pots for much more consistent performance. With a Reverend in your hands, you can rest assured that only the best components are under the hood.
